Mark - What you say is most likly the real reason for the demise of the Forums. The thing I don't understand is the loss of interest in HLs by the diehard collectors (or were they into the collecting just for the sake of collecting somethin)? Even though there are no new HLS a dedicated collector should still have som piece he/she needs for their collection. In fact,since HLs is gone I have finally had a chance to fill and build on my collection even more then when HLs was in full production. This is because I'm not having to save my money to buy new pieces and I can concentrate of getting what I want in the older pieces. Oh well, to each his own. I'm sure there is another collectible that will come along for those collectors to grab on to.
